Dead Space 2-The return of necromorphic

There is a saying that we tend to repeat over and over again whenever we are faced with a sequel: the difficulty of facing a second part of a title that has made the market a few years earlier. A problem that has been repeated throughout history by all kinds of titles that do not do justice to the original, but we have found works greatly improved their predecessors, becoming the emblem of the franchise. Other titles, however, are guilty of excessive continuity that eventually becomes good titles but they do not pose the same impact on the market. Each game that comes to market has its own story to tell throughout its existence, and not a few people who have wondered what the story will leave us, Dead Space 2.

The first chapter was developed by a study which, at that time was still known as EA Redwood Shores. The year was 2008 and the survival horror genre was living one of its worst times, because in this generation can be counted on the fingers of titles that have ventured into this genre. EA's space opera we had a horror story in a mining ship called the USG Ishimura, where the protagonist discover that all the crew had mutated into hideous creatures because of an alien artifact known as the effigy. His great technical finish and good gameplay allowed this action game in the third person (for many terrifying, for others just intense) would become one of the most popular titles by critics and audiences of that year.

He came quietly and was imposed on other major titles, so that in 2009 it was announced that he was working on a sequel, Dead Space 2, the title that concerns us. Continue to charge the same study (now renamed Visceral Games), who to his credit are highly successful titles like 007: Everything or Nothing 007: From Russia with Love, the two installments of The Godfather, The Simpsons: The Game, Dante's Inferno and, of course, the original and Dead Space Dead Space Extraction. With such a curriculum, it is difficult to conceive that Dead Space 2 can be a bad game, and indeed, it is not at all. However, it has a heavy burden on his back that was the original title, and although clearly improves several aspects, other sins a little be too continuo.

Three years later

As is well known and, once again we put ourselves in the shoes of Isaac Clarke, a man whose name honors two of the greatest writers of science fiction story, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. Three years have gone about their ordeal at the Ishimura, so now we are in 2511. Can not remember exactly why, because their memories are too blurry and barely aware of the passage of those years, but is in hospital in a large space station located in the orbit of Saturn, not far from the Earth. As expected, far from being a peaceful, the place will soon become a nightmare environment in which our hero must return to fight for survival against a new invasion of necromorphic.

It is curious, since the parallels could be drawn between Dead Space and Alien can be repeated between 2 and Dead Space Aliens. We will not get into a comparison that is not the purpose of this analysis, but it is necessary to bear in mind that Dead Space 2 Dead Space is what Alien Aliens: What first was an isolated spacecraft is now a large station on a planet, which multiplies necromorphic exaggerated figures and creatures that can go from nothing to try to stop us and become one of them. Similarly, the secondary characters are aware of the threat and know what they expect from it (both positively and negatively), but only our protagonist has survived the first invite and has the experience to know how to act.
